The Billionaire's Devotion

(Excerpt—) Their faces were still inches apart, breaths entangling. Instead of her lips, he kissed her on the cheek before pulling away to look at her. She wasn't looking at him anymore. She had trained her eyes on the view outside the window. "We could try again," Jacob said. "I don't know what you want from me." Sutton replied in a quiet voice. "I'll keep my word this time around. Six months and I'll set you free, Sutton Price."  Sutton wasn't listening anymore. Something else was on her mind. She brought her eyes to him again, and her next words were not what he expected.

Chapter 59

                        Sutton Price

After not hearing from Jacob all day, she stopped by their new home to search for him. Even though he had acted cold towards her in the morning, she couldn't help worrying about him. When she got into the house, it was dark everywhere. She had turned off the lights before she left in the morning. She flipped the living room switch and the entire room was illuminated. Everything was just as she had left it. No one had come in. She dropped her purse on the sofa and went upstairs to check and be sure Jacob wasn't there. There was no one. She checked what would have been Jace's room and still found it empty. Sutton's heart was heavy. She hoped nothing had happened to Jacob. She knew he wasn't in the right state of mind.
